Cafe Poetes has been warmly received by the neighborhood with four stars out of 107 reviews on Yelp.

Yelper Kay L., who reviewed the eatery on May 29, wrote, "Cafe Poetes is honestly one of the most adorable cafes I've been to in Houston. Their French library-style space gives a unique atmosphere, perfect for the menu. The table markers are even distinguished by authors, which is a cute little detail. It's clean, airy and bright, almost too perfectly detailed to want to sit/dine in."

Linda E. noted, "The space is just what you could expect from a cafe in Paris. Mostly everything is based around the eclair, but they also have other food items on the menu. I came to try the latte, lemonade and eclair. I must say, I enjoyed all the items."

Cafe Poetes is open from 9 a.m.-7 p.m. on Tuesday-Thursday, 9 a.m.-11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 10 a.m.-7 p.m. on Sunday. (It's closed on Monday.)
